Honestly, no clue.

I've labbed with quite a few Quest tools, but the only ones I've actually used 
are the NetWare migrator and GroupWise migrator. For the SMORG space they tend 
to be inordinately expensive, and that's where I "play".

I wonder how that product compares with Quest's solution.

I've got a customer that uses a tool by Varonis to track group usage. I'm 
ambivalent (not sure it provides equivalent value), but they like it, so that's 
all that matters. You might give it a look.

NetWrix also has some tools in this space.

I never would have thought of that - I should be able to use admodify to bulk 
hide the groups from the GAL.

Be interested in any other options simply as it's always good to know there's 
more than one way to skin a cat, but that sounds like a plan so thanks for that 
Brian.

Michael - A typical example is a folder gets created for a project, group(s) 
gets created and assigned to the folder permissions, project dies and gets 
deleted, groups don't.

Sometimes it's my fault, sometimes it's a subfolder of a top level folder so 
the users delete them - most of the time my naming structure makes it obvious 
if a group is still relevant, but it would be good to have a "cooling off" 
period before deleting.
